1854. The estimated remainder is 603, 1000.

Married or Single Teachers.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: / read with
much interest in this mornings paper that the
Washington school board, like those of many
other cities, is HvcIse to the employment OF
maTried lfdy teachers ] write TO respectfully
udice. During quite limited observations on
this subject, have almost universally found
that nied women are much better teachers
than single young ladies, There appear to me
several good lCaons why this should bo so.
In the fist place The ranks Of the teachers
profession are filled largely by class Of young
persons who have no profess Onal enthusiasm,
whose only object In 10 earn little pin money,
and whnse highest aim Is tn satisfy the often
very lax feluirt meniS of patrons and author
ities.. On the other hand those ladies' who are
OmlitiOus TO continue on In the profession, not
vilhstgnding q change IN their social rela
lions, are mostly such as arc filed with enthu-
slnsm nnd feel the Importance and grandeur of
their work. Another reason why teachers
should not be cut oil upon marriage Is because
Ege and experience In the school room gives
much higher efficiency and vaue to the teach.
In connection with this subject permit mo
10 cali your attention 10 the practice ia
the schools of Germany, from which Amer
ica has In the last decade copied so much
that is good In Germany only men Gre edit
Gated Tor the Professions Wonen are not ad-
mittCd to the normal schools because by the
time they have served Il sufficient apprentices
shin In the school room to become Of real use
Us teachers they marry and generally leave tho
pref Fsicn, and thtir professional training n
practically wasted CnCIt. In this country we
adopt the other extreme. Respectfully,
